"This extraordinary feat of reporting is unlike any other book about South Africa. It provides the kind of authentic evidence of the ordeals of black life that few white South Africans themselves discover. And it is superbly written, presenting characters and dialogue with the vividness of the great Russian novels, with a sense of careful observation that makes it hard to argue with - at least until the final political summing up" (Anthony Sampson). Move Your Shadow went on to win the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for General Non-Fiction as well as the 1986 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Current Interest.
